Peer5 Downloader API - Developers

Peer5 offers a JavaScript file downloader that uses both web servers and other site visitors (using Chrome or Firefox browsers) to make downloading files faster, but still secure and reliable. End users downloading a file simultaneously transmit a portion of the file's data to each other. The more end users download files, the more data sharing takes place, which helps decrease bandwidth costs, and increase download speeds. If no end users are available, or if p2p sharing becomes interrupted, the download is temporarily cached, and the process reverts to your web server.
API users can use the Peer5 platform for files, video, audio, and site acceleration.
